Original title: The Tokyo Olympics in Japan is about to open next week to introduce epidemic prevention recommendations
Less than 6 weeks before the opening of the Tokyo Olympics. On the 11th, Shigeru Omino, chairman of the Japanese Government’s New Crown Epidemic Response Team, said at a meeting of the Health and Labor Committee of the House of Representatives on the 11th that as soon as next week, he will summarize the anti-epidemic measures for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.
On the same day, Shigeru Omin said that the Japanese government must take strong measures to prevent and control the epidemic, otherwise the medical system may be in a hurry during the Tokyo Olympics. He stated that he would include the expression “higher risk” in the proposal.
Regarding the issue of spectators entering the game, the panel experts pointed out that allowing spectators to enter the game is likely to be understood by people as “can move and gather.” The epidemic prevention measures will be loosened and the risk of epidemic spread will increase. There are also opinions that even if it is held in empty venues, the opportunities for people to gather in various places will increase, and the epidemic will also expand. Therefore, the proposal will clearly indicate the extent to which the risk of the epidemic can be reduced if the event is held empty.
According to Kyodo News Agency, the International Olympic Committee and the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee plan to jointly release the final version of the epidemic prevention manual next week. According to Japanese media reports, the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee will impose stricter punishments on athletes and related personnel who fail to comply with the epidemic prevention regulations. According to specific violations, the International Olympic Committee will also take measures such as disqualification and fines.
